Delegate counts

Just a quick survey. NBC as of yesterday afternoon.
Pledged: Obama 1,602 to 1,444
Superdelegates: Obama 302.5 to 279.5
Total: Obama 1,900.5 to 1,723.5.

NYTimes This morning.
Projected pledged delegates: Obama 1,611 to 1,444.
Superdelegates: Obama 302.5 to 271.
Total: Obama 1,913.5 to 1,715.

According to DemConWatch, there are only 406 delegates left, 189 pledged, 217 supers. Of interest, Clinton needs to claim roughly 306 of the remaining 406 to reach 2,025. Obama needs 110.

Two thoughts: 1) Obama passed Clinton in superdelegates just last week and now he's up by 22 to 30.

2) Although the Clinton camp keeps making their popular vote argument (I know there are issues,) nobody in the media seems to be reporting it with any credibility.
